If you are a nature lover looking for an adventurous holiday, a birding and wildlife safari at Desert National Park is a perfect choice. Located in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, the park spans an impressive 3,000 square kilometres, showcasing the rich biodiversity of the Thar Desert.
The park is characterized by vast sand dunes, rocky landscapes, and thorny desert vegetation. Despite its harsh and arid conditions, it supports a remarkable variety of wildlife and bird species.
Visitors can explore the park through Jeep Safaris and Camel Safaris, offering excellent opportunities to spot wildlife against the stunning desert backdrop. The vast open landscapes and peaceful silence make the safari experience truly unforgettable.
Desert National Park plays a vital role in conserving the habitat of the Great Indian Bustard, one of the rarest birds in the world, making it one of India’s most important desert protected areas.
A paradise for birdwatchers, the park is home to many rare and unique bird species that are difficult to spot elsewhere. If you connect with Heaven in Desert before your trip, you can receive updates on recent bird sightings in different regions of the park.
